This Short Cut presents a sampling of custom functions that we-ve found useful, or that serve as good examples of functions in our day-to-day practice. The functions are broken into groups according to their purpose, much as FileMaker-s calculation functions are. Please note that these functions are meant as examples-although the examples were not tested exhaustively, nor is this collection meant to be comprehensive. We hope you-ll find some of them helpful directly, or that reading and analyzing others might provide a springboard for your own ideas.
